“Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of Truth.” 2 Timothy 2:15

About Us

We are a group of Bible Students who base our beliefs wholly on the Bible, regarding it as fully inspired by God, and therefore believe that in its original form, it is error free.

Purely for reasons of having to be known by a name we have chosen to be known by the name "Christadelphians".

The name "Christadelphian" means 'Christ's Brethren' ie. we are Brothers and Sisters in Christ. This name was first used by the Apostle Paul when speaking of the followers of Christ in Romans 1:13 "I do not want you to be unaware, brothers and sisters, that I planned many times to come to you..." "brothers and sisters" is the Greek 'adelphoi' from which comes 'adelphians', Christ's brothers and sisters.

This name was first used by our community in the mid-1800s, but we believe that there have been people (other Bible Students, Brothers and Sisters in Christ) who share our beliefs throughout history.

We are confidently waiting for Christ to return to earth when he will gather his followers together from all over the world and commence to establish God's Kingdom on Earth.

Is Bible Truth important to your Faith and Salvation ie. will you be saved despite what you believe the bible teaches or does it matter what you believe?

Well the word “truth” appears 237 times in the bible, that alone says it must be important!

Therefore it must be important to understand what “truth” is.

A quick scan of the passages using this word “truth” leave us in no doubt that it is not only important, but vital to our salvation.

John 17:3

3 And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.

1 John 5:20

20And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true,even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.

1 Timothy 2:3-4

3For thisis good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; 4 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.

Clearly then knowing what is Bible Truth is important and vital, in addition to this we are also warned that some would depart from the “truth”…

1 Timothy 4:1

1Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; 2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; 3 Forbidding to marry,and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.

1 John 4:6

6We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.

From these passages it is very clear that we need to know the “truth” about God and His Son as it is taught to us in the Bible. This means we must learn what this is from the Bible itself.

Don't let your HOPE of LIFE ETERNAL rest with someone else eg. your pastor or minister, YOU owe it to yourself and your family to be fully convinced of what it is you believe to be sure it HOLDS something REAL for you.

We have all been warned by God that there would be many false teachers and Jesus himself has told us that "Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it." See Matthew 7:14

Sadly when Christ returns to this earth, many will only then realise that they have believed in lies Jeremiah 16:19

"19 O LORD, my strength, and my fortress, and my refuge in the day of affliction, the Gentiles shall come unto thee from the ends of the earth, and shall say, Surely our fathers have inherited lies, vanity, and things wherein there is no profit."

Don't let this be you or your family!

BIBLE TRUTH and true faith must be founded on a fully inspired Bible.

What We Believe

True Bible Teaching fundamental beliefs are:

The Bible is God's word and the only message from him. It is without error, except for copying and translation errors.

There is only one God - the Father. The Holy Spirit is God's power.

Jesus is the Son of God, and a human being, through his mother Mary.

Man is mortal, having no existence when dead.

By living a sinless life, ending with his sacrificial death by crucifixion, Jesus has opened the way of salvation from death.

Belief and baptism are essential steps to salvation.

God raised Jesus from death. Jesus is currently in Heaven, on God's right hand. He will one day return.

When Jesus returns, he will raise his "sleeping" followers from death and grant immortality to the faithful who have tried to live by God's precepts.

His followers will help him to rule, bringing justice, righteousness and peace to the whole world - the Kingdom of God.

Bible Q & A

The OFFER of LIFE or DEATH

“Now what I am commanding you today is not too difficult for you or beyond your reach. It is not up in heaven, so that you have to ask, “Who will ascend into heaven to get it and proclaim it to us so we may obey it?” Nor is it beyond the sea, so that you have to ask, “Who will cross the sea to get it and proclaim it to us so we may obey it?” No, the word is very near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart so you may obey it. See, I set before you today life and prosperity, death and destruction. For I command you today to love the Lord your God, to walk in obedience to him… This day I call the heavens and the earth as witnesses against you that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Now choose life, so that you and your children may live and that you may love the Lord your God, listen to his voice, and hold fast to him. For the Lord is your life…" Deuteronomy Chapter 30:12-20

From this passage we see how important it is to each one of us that we seek after God and His Word the Bible to us.

Without this we have no hope of LIFE, but only a future of DEATH.

This Word of God was originally given to the Nation of Israel and later it spread via the Apostles of Christ to the World, that even we today might have this same HOPE of LIFE ETERNAL.

It is UP to YOU then to seek out God’s Word, to KNOW what is the TRUTH of God’s Word so that you and your family might KNOW the way of LIFE ETERNAL and the great HOPE of living in God’s Kingdom on EARTH.

Do not let your HOPE rest upon others and most importantly on what others teach, search it out for yourself because we have been warned that the churches would be astray from God’s word in the last days.

"For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.”2 Timothy 4:3-4

Too much is at stake for you to not act yourself to seek out the TRUTH.

Christ himself has told us to do this when he said…

“But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. Godis a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.”John 4:23-24

Why should we do this?

Because as Paul also says: God wants all men to know His plan and purpose, and the promise of His Salvation, from this life of pointlessness, in that we as mortal people just live and die. Rather than this being our fate, God is willing to "have all men to be saved (ie. to live forever in a far better, ideal world) and to come unto the knowledge of the truth." so that this might be a true reality for YOU. 1 Timothy 2:4

So yes YOU TOO can be a part of God's Purpose with this Earth, you can learn about this, on this website, or by meeting with us, where you can also come and join with us in fellowship and rejoicing together at the prospect of God's Kingdom Coming Soon on this EARTH!

We welcome all visitors to join with us in learning and believing in the One True God and His Son Jesus Christ as they are revealed to us in the Bible. We base all our beliefs on the Bible alone. God has given us His Word the Bible so that we might come to know Him in Truth and How we can enjoy the Salvation He promises to all those who LOVE and SERVE Him in TRUTH AND SPIRIT.

Some people who profess to be Christian’s believe that they are ‘saved’ now and that all that remains is for them to be taken to heaven upon death. But heaven as a place of reward does not exist and is not taught anywhere in the Bible – check it out, search “heaven” in a concordance in the Bible and see what you can find, but having done this I can tell you right now that you will not find a passage anywhere that teaches you that you are going to heaven as a place of reward for serving God now??

And if this is not taught in the Bible why would you believe it? Yes I know churches teach this along with a lot of other false teaching, but if it is not taught in the Bible why would you believe it?

In fact if you go to Genesis 1:6-8 we read this:

“6 And God said, Let there be a firmament (Hebrew sig. ‘expanse’) in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters. 7 And God made the firmament, and divided the waters (seas, rivers and lakes) which were under the firmament from the waters (the upper atmosphere where a large band of water resided to protect the earth from the harmful ultraviolet rays of the Sun) which were above the firmament: and it was so. 8 And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.”

So from this we are taught that God called the expanse between the waters below and the waters above “Heaven”. This is the atmosphere between the waters of the earth and the waters of the high altitude atmosphere that God made to surround the earth in the beginning.

The reality of True Bible Teaching is that we all will die, and that only those baptized (fully immersed) into Christ and who live a life of obedience to Christ will be resurrected from the grave.

This leads us to ask the question: Who will be saved then?

Well the Apostle Paul told people that previously did not know the Truth of the Gospel Message that they were “…aliens from the commonwealth of Israel and strangers to the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world…”

Here it is in Ephesians 2:11-13

“11 Wherefore remember, that yebeing in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands; 12 That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world: 13 But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.”

You believe in God’s Kingdom to be established on earth and you believe you are serving God as obediently as you can, but will you be found worthy to enter God’s Kingdom on Earth?

Will everyone who professes belief in God be saved?

The bible does not give us this assurance, in fact to the contrary it says that “few shall be saved”

Not sure? Well consider this passage from JOHN CHAPTER 17

"1 These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee: 2 As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him. 3 And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent. 4 I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do."

The Greek word for "know" is 'genosko' and it means to have a thorough intellectual understanding of what something is all about.

Do you have this understanding of God and His Son

Jesus Christ?

The need for this full understanding of the TRUTH is further underlined by Christ's words in John 17:17

We are sanctified in our understanding of God's word of Truth ie. set apart as special unto God and Christ, without this we cannot be saved. Just as Israel were not saved when they strayed from their TRUE knowledge of God.

God's special people the nation of Israel were destroyed for lack of knowledge as we read in Hosea 4:1 Hear the word of the LORD, ye children of Israel: for the LORD hath a controversy with the inhabitants of the land, because there is no truth, nor mercy, nor knowledge of God in the land.

In Hosea 4:6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee.

In Hosea 6:6 For I desired mercy, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings.

The Apostle Paul has warned us that some would not be in the Faith (ie. the true knowledge of God and Christ)...

1 Timothly 4:1 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; 2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; 3 Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.
And again by the Apostle Peter...

2 Peter 2:1 But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.

And in 2 Thessalonians where the Apostle Paul tells us that some would fall away from "the Truth" he says that this would be becaused they had lost their love of the Truth and had chosen rather to believe a lie.

2 Thessalonians 2:10-12

"10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: 12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness."

And so the Apostle Paul counselled us all to Work out OUR OWN SALVATION...

Philippians 2:12 Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.

SEEK THE TRUTH WITH WRESTED SCRIPTURES!

Use this True Bible Teaching Resource to help understanding some of the more difficult passages that many take in isolation to the rest of the Bible and claim that they teach things that the Bible does not teach.

The Bible is a large book, but it teaches us the truth from beginning to end, therefore anything towards the end of the Bible eg. The New Testament must agree with what is taught in the Old Testament, also remember that the divisions of the Bible into Old and New Testaments is a manmade one, the whole Bible is God's WORD to us and must be undersood consistently as such.
